...created a still-life puppet show, with twelve porcelain-headed puppets in full Victorian dress, in a gallery of the main building at Pratt. Perkins changed the puppets' positions each day and used cards to explain what was happening in his mini-Forsyte Saga. Perkins would like to tour the country in a gypsy wagon with his own Punch and Judy show. But at the moment he is looking for a job creating commercial displays.

(He also managed to outrage Russians, Swedes and residents of the New York borough of Queens with comments about their "racist" attitudes.) Secretary of State Cyrus Vance reported progress toward a new arms-limitation agreement after meeting Soviet negotiators in Geneva; this week he will present U.S. proposals for economic...
Presleymania reigned. A frenzied girl tried to jump from the balcony to the stage. More than 13,000 other Elvis worshipers-housewives in Presley T shirts, teenyboppers, and vacationers who were following their idol on a seven-state tour-paid $10 and up for a concert in the Providence Civic Center.
